Not to sound too smarmy, but perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the Chowhound search utility (caveat: "Market" will match a lot of unrelated threads, for example farmers markets). Here are a few threads you might check out:

There are a number of restaurants which can easily compete with Market especially looking at the rather high prices at Market: Blanca, Kitchen 1540, 9-10, Georges, 1500 Ocean, Tapenade. In addition there are a number of restaurants which might serve more bistro-style cuisine which is perhaps not as refined as Market but overall have the better value and creativity, e.g. Cafe Chloe, JSix

When the chef was at Arterra, I thought his food was excellent, generous, unpretentious, and well-priced for the quality. I've tried Market twice and been underwhelmed--expensive, really small portions (and I don't like to overeat), and the staff seems to have a "holier than though" attitude--kind of like "you should be more appreciative for the chance to sample our Chef's cuisine". All of this imvho--maybe I should give them another try, last was about 2 years ago.
